Beer Odd
Ok, so the classic defacto starter ratio is 100g DME to 1000ml of water, or a wort of 1.040 (I assume these are the same).
This is what I typically use anyway.
However reading "Brew Classic European Beers at Home" ISBN 1-85249-117-5 it says ~ pp37
[paraphrasing]
"bring approximately [...] 250ml of water to the boil and then add [...] 50-60 grams of malt extract"
Surely they mean liquid malt extract here ? It does not specify dry or liquid.
Otherwise this is at least twice as strong as the classic.
